Imagine that my garage door made history. This is where the Big Pres Conference took place. I dont even know how to explain 2020 it was a crazy, crazy year that things happened in philadelphia president ial biden to becom the 46th president of th united states. I had no idea what we would be in for. I thought my friends were messing with me. A philadelphia landscapin company has been thrust into the National Spotlight the entire thing wa supposed to be anonymous it put me in shock to see m name on the president twitter. We probably got thousands of calls. You have 950 new messages we had a lot of haters. I remember asking, did we make a mistake there were just way too many trees. Heres the other thing, and think well discuss this wit the board when we have zoom. My name is marie ziravo, i 65 im the president at fou seasons total landscaping in philadelphia we do Grounds Maintenance an irrigation, seeding, flowers snow removal its kind of boring. I think the most challengin part of starting the busines and being in business is being woman owned. Nobody took you serious. You own the property you have cameras my whole other Maintenance Man on other properties, the cannot we help them, they help us if i had 1 for every time i got asked did i have a husband i have a wonderful husband he just had his business and i had mine this is my life. Other than my family this is my entire life we want to make sure that if w do purchase this its meeting o needs and that we dont no also need another building i have three boys. Michael is the youngest. Mike took the general manage role i had to let go a little bit because i want my hands in everything how many people get the chance to go to work every day with their mother . The first thing we do is fi everything with food this is part of our italia culture. Some days are like, phenomenal and some days, she cant figur out how to use the printer, an its frustrating mike i need some help we have days and he forget some still his boss, but i try not to use tha card, because i need him t learn everything that is in my head i started from the very bottom, being a laborer, learning from Everything T Working Underneath the supervisor and shadowing him i pretty much work from th ground up to where i am no the ground up. Yay. Other than that, thats no scheduled work, so like basically mike and shawn, they run the daily operations. I really do depend on my. We are partners with his mothe in this Business Sean and i met when we were in college i looked up to him as a role model. He was almost like a big brother to me. Mike and i have been throug a lot together both personally an professionally we are both in recovery, which is a big thing we have i common if you could do it with Somebody Else who has the same goals as you do, to become a better person on a daily basis it makes it easier theyre like two old souls. They Work Together so well i know they both have th companys best interest at heart. Sometimes it takes a little i just got elected him beat hi and back up. He comes around. So is this what people want to hear about in this documentary the race to the white house has been no calls confusing President Trump is stil leading in that state by about 108,000 votes. Days after the election there was not a clue it just left everybody worried and stressed philadelphia became kind of ground zero for the election battle the Convention Center in the center the votes have been counted. Crowds started gathering outside. You had Trump Supporters gathered outside and you had biden supporters they were facing off against each other across the street people were dressing up as Constitution People were dressing up as mailboxes. Theyre Holding Signs saying we the people. Progressive, conservativ america. In one place literally, these two streets outside with the conventio center trumps legal team composed of turnout at the phill Convention Center the account every votes protes just across the street turne up the music really really loud so you cannot hear a word that pam says, because its completely overwhelmed by th sound of the music everybody was biting at eac other.

Suddenly this tweet come through from donald trump, the press from france at fou seasons philadelphia 11 am i sprang into action, gathered all my stuff, grab bags, mad phone calls to the editor. I jumped in my car and i go down to the Four Seasons Hotel in Downtown Philadelphia i think it was at the doo with the second tweet came through. Four seasons landscaping philadelphia my reaction was utte confusion. Of course its there theres a landscaping there. Oh yeah. Its the Four Seasons Hotel. Its the entrance area with Th Landscaping. My assumption was that h mushed the key pad somehow and pipe the word landscaping. I got a call from the fou Seasons Hotel and he said maria, ive got one question, are the coming to you or are the coming to Me Trump Deletes the secon tweet. A third tweet comes in and its said Big Pres Conference in philadelphia four seasons total landscaping why would the president s lawyer hold a conference that a Landscaping Company . The story starts with donald trump tweeting that there woul be a Press Conference on saturday morning at the four seasons in philadelphia not th hotel, but the four season total landscape. It remains unclear whether the Trump Campaign made an error o not . Why did you pick this place it was just ahead scratcher. This was just the beginning of ho surreal this was was its not prominent why was it here . You had more questions than yo could possibly have answered with trump, it was alway difficult to get answers about the truth. Because people didnt know the answers. Often it was because they were lying. I spent weeks and week interviewing everybody i could and hitting dead and after dea and after that and nobody really knew how the ended up at the landscapin place, in a part of town tha is normally not where Campaign Host these things. I said i will try to answe what i thought was a simpl question whats the hell happened and the longer that i dug into it, the crazier it was mistake or not, they held their Press Conference at Th Loading Dock at the landscap or heres what it looked like that is quite an image projects power obviously, they screwed up they got the wrong place they said lets just go with it we are on an Industrial Strip with a crematorium acros the street and an adult vide and bookstore up the street. There was a level o excitement among our staff tha we would be hosting th president s Campaign Staff here but that was quickly followe by dread and obvious grew up in booking but they all played a lawn and pretended that was the maste plan there are two different theories, really that i had that other people had as well. One, i thought that maybe they had someone that thought the could book the four season hotel. Someone on the campaign made the president think that it wa a possibility that it would be held there, and that once he tweeted that, they googled around and found that th closest thing called fou seasons to the four seasons in philadelphia happen to be Th Landscaping place. The other theory was this of Minor Screw Ups from various people at various levels at th campaign and somehow through connection or an accident they ended up here. Im at the Campaign Staff here at about 9 30 it was a pretty quick set up obviously. You saw what was on tv im pretty proud of the spac that we were able to curate in such a small amount of time. It was a Landscape Constructio yard normally, you might hav Police Outside of the perimeter, but it was just privat security, and they asked us to put our News Organizations dow on a clipboard and they woul call us in and make it loo like it might be exclusive like we might not all ge called in. Every time they called a new organization, 6 to 8 Trump Supporters would do. We request were republican. The Information Media i think the biggest part fo me was seeing giuliani lik pull up into black suburbans i thought i was dreaming nobody famous has ever been here it was almost like in slow motion like him walking into th office i actually wasnt going t come here. And i got a phone call from my son anthony, he said mom this is bigger than we think and he sends me a picture whil im talking to him and rudy is sitting at my desk and the plaque in front of m desk says boss lady. I looked at my husband, i said we better get over there we demand a Fair Election i demand you shut the house up we demand a Fair Election we demand a Fair Election there was a crowd of people that biden and trump supporter were there, they were goin back and forth with each other and then the cops showed up an the entire front row was shu down thats when it kind of Got Lik A Very Nerve Wracking for me it was just overwhelming, s i just looked around, i looked at everybody, i try to figur out who everybody was. The Press Conference was about to start i stood on top of the traile so i could see and i just watched in the final weeks, officials told me keeping rudy busy became a fulltime job. They had to devise places to send him specific aides to keep wit him. That would make it so he was not running wild, creating whackamole problems for them Rudy Giuliani is underminin confidence in the American Election system. Therefore undermining ou national security. Rudy giuliani was considere to be a great force of Law And Order. He was one of the heroes o 9 11 i think thats part of wh it was so disturbing to watc him unravel. And to watch him kind of the base himself in support of thi guy who thought he was bette than by the way, do you have any idea that the State Department do you know the lie shut up you dont know where your talking about. You dont know what youre talking about, idiot he was kind of a mess, bu he was always around and she was always loyal and that was the only thing that seem to matter to th president. He is a great guy he know its a witch hunt thats wha he knows rudy followed his Press Coverage very closely. And he was very aware of what the view of him was in mainstream circles he was nothing bu respectful to us when he was here shook our hands, took pictures with us. Greeted all the cops but i think going on a tv. I dont know if somethin changes. He once told me my view of m legacy is, quote, fact it. When a Beautiful Day. Thank you. Im here on behalf of the trum campaign as an attorney for th president. To describe to you the first part of a situation that i extremely, extremely troubling rudy comes out and launches into the speech about how th election was stolen and ho there are very Grave Allegations of fraud he has witnesses behind him. People who have seen allege fraud, people who Will B Testifying in lawsuits he presents this guy Darrell Brooks we later learned hes expose himself to children under age. It became here quickl nothing was there. There was no revelation. He wasnt exposing a big fraud in philadelphia. The election wasnt stolen while rudy was speaking i was off to the side with mik and murray we looked at each other, and w are in awe of how long this wa going on and i know, i know he wont accept it, because of your hateful biases but see if he can try to think rationally put some of those ballots an manufactured in advance by the Democrat Machine O philadelphia wouldnt be the first time the did it i didnt think anyone too this real serious. How can i possibly tell you theres fraud or no fraud. You just said and somebody said, you know they have called the electio for biden. Who was a called by . Oh my goodness all the networks wow all the networks all the networks when the networks decide the election and were all thinking all the Time Networks called the election all the time you can see this ripple among the crowd of journalist. I am trying to figure out th same thing, do i listen to Rud Giuliani Or Go Back to philadelphia, where they wil be celebrating the election . Then you see people starting t pack up their stuff. Many of them had to leave because the primary stor wasnt that Rudy Giuliani wa challenging the Election Results. The story was that biden has just won the presidency. Somebody asked me, where wer you when they called the election for joe biden i say well, i was in the parking lot of four season total landscaping. The president s lawyer lef as the news came in that joe biden had been declared th victor perhaps this is why they chose the industrial estate. They wouldnt be heard o welcomed here in Downtow Philadelphia [applause] a city in a state which delivered donald trump the white house four years ago pennsylvania is now the stat which pushed joe biden over th line i just thought, sure, w said yeah. And it was going to be over. Period we would have done this for either Political Campaign. We just wanted to be helpful and we just had no idea wha we were in for i just saw my Press Conference today, four seasons fancy. Yeah, it sounds fancy but it was at a landscapin Company Called four seasons. Was that a mistake [laughs] what, no. We heard from all different types of media outlets, an people wanting to know mor about what happened. I got calls from th washington post. Chicago times new york times. Usa today yahoo news. Netflix hello. Business insider. Nbc fox cnn in the bbc. I started seeing that this was going further. And it was going into europe german newspapers, iris newspapers, you name it, the were all calling my emails have not stopped. Are you getting emails nonstop are you yeah, its insane thats why i said yes otherwise, if i thought it was turning into this. I would have thought twice on the day after the pres conference it was nothing bu chaos. We couldnt even use the offic phone for two weeks. Because it just never stoppe ringing. You couldnt even get a thought process, let alone entered am you have 1010 ne messages, of which three are urgent [inaudible] i understood that there is a special round of bill shap this week. Hi, do you provide
